Excerpt

“Let’s go.” Mo cocked his
head at the undergrowth. “The sooner this is over, the sooner we can blow some
shit up and get home.”

I tried to hide my slight
sway and the way even the darkness hurt my eyes. But of course, he saw right
through it.

Mo came closer. “You’re
the prez, Kill. You’re the one pulling the strings on this party. But tonight,
let us be the ones in front, yeah?”

Grasshopper froze. I was
well known for being on the front line. I never asked others to do what I was
afraid to do myself. I shook my head, then stopped immediately.

Motherfucker,
that hurts.

Swallowing my groan, my shoulders slumped.
“Normally, I’d take a swing at you for sprouting such bullshit. But . . . you
might be right.”

Honesty was a weakness, but it was also a strength.
My men trusted me because I wasn’t stupid. If they had a better idea, I
listened. If they had reasons to avoid something, I paid attention.

And this was one of those times.

Grasshopper’s boots crunched a twig as he shifted.
“You’re still the boss. We aren’t protecting you or doing shit on your behalf;
you’re just doing us a favor by not getting in the way.”

As if anyone believes that shit.

“We’ll get her back, dude. And we’ll destroy those
motherfuckers.” Grasshopper slapped a hand on my shoulder.

I winced as my headache flared, but I appreciated
the gesture. Fuck, I appreciated everything he’d done—even if I was livid.

I owed him.

If it hadn’t have been for Hopper, I might’ve bled
out or turned into a damn zucchini before anyone noticed. He’d been the one to
pop around when he couldn’t get me on the phone. He was the one who found me
passed out.

Mo pulled his gun free and clicked off the safety.
“Let’s go.” Like an evil spirit, he dissolved into the tree line.

Grasshopper took off after him, leaving me to bring
up the rear—like a rookie or some idiotic prospect.

The trees were watchdogs.

The shadows were death’s pockets to hide in.

We remained silent as we merged with the darkness,
slinking stealthily through leaves and cobwebs.

Every step throbbed my head.

Every duck to avoid branches sent queasiness
splashing through my skull.

Cleo was nearby and we were about to rescue her.

That was all the incentive I needed to do my fucking
job as a Pure Corruption president and lover to my woman.

I’m
stronger than a damn concussion.

However, the closer we got to the large wooden fence
barricading Dagger Rose, the more I feared I might not be a help but a
hindrance. Mo was right to put me at the back. My muscles trembled and the cold
sweat of illness never let up. I could barely stomach the pain of walking, let
alone running into battle and firing a loud gun.

Shit.

Moving past the glade where I’d brought Cleo, my
fists tightened as I recalled her peering through the hole in the fence and
witnessing her old home.

It hurt like hell that she couldn’t remember
everything we’d shared, but at the same time, I was glad. Glad that she
couldn’t recall the night we both lost everything.

My stomach convulsed as a rancid thought crusted my
mind.

She’ll know.

She’ll remember what I did.

My father would’ve had ample time to tell her what
happened. To show her the false statement and guild lies into truths.

Everything he said would reek of dishonesty—but one
fact remained.

One undisputed fact that would make her hate me for
eternity.

What I did was unforgivable.

I was the one who pulled the trigger.

I was the one to slaughter the two people she cared
for most in this world.
